It really is just as well, public funds should serve the public good I hope the whole USA follows suit.
If you are working on something proprietary seek private funds.
Lots of diseases out there, especially bacterial and fungal have VERY flexible diets. So back into your bunker Sparticus789;-)
Only viruses and prions are limited to hurting things they co-evolve with (or ones with similar/same proteins).
it will be 'installed' just like every other virus/malware with small print in the user agreement that your computer becomes crap after agreeing to install this program.
Always on DRM = the constant threat of YOUR personal property becoming useless.
The most frequent problem is outages and or bottlenecks.
But the real problem is:
"Microsoft sells gaming platform to SuperMeggaGameCo to focus more on their core products"
"SuperMeggaGameCo goes under"
"XBoxes become paperweights"
Vinyl is hissy and wears down over time and tapes distorted the hell out of music. The quality of the new higher quality mp3s is one of the biggest reasons I tend to buy more music these days than ever. I think nostalgia has tainted their hearing.
Really that's what it boils down to, knowing a guilty face just by looking at it???
Statistically you might be right most of the time, but the rest of the time you are mistreating innocent people. Not OK in my book.
Many excellent coders are self taught, however, most education systems require teaching degrees, or at the very least a degree.
Also, Since it is an ever-changing technology, only someone who is 'actively' and successfully coding and keeping up with the latest trends, can offer truly valuable info. Too long out of the trenches and you risk becoming only good for teaching the 'history of' computing.
It's about time, almost a bit too late to matter. This is because dish box, cable box, and tv manufacturers have reached the point that they are phasing in volume spike control options on their devices on their own.
China has no advantage, robotics is likely to even the labor cost playing field a little bit at a time, and eventually it won't be worth the labor savings to have your products made halfway around the world by somebody who will ultimately steal your Intellectual Property and compete with you later.
As a whole our ability to attain, preserve, and exchange knowledge is growing at an fantastic rate, so what if our 'individual' ability to do so has plateaued.
Agreed, I'm 43 with 20 years of development behind my belt, but I'm always studying something. To choose what to study I actually look at hiring trends and salary amounts for particular skill-sets to help me decide what is worth my time to learn.
I'm still a code machine but fear perhaps the day will come when I'm no longer in my prime, but I'm going to hope I'm one of those old guys that stay sharp until the end.
I'm a 43 year old programmer, and I love programming. My problem is that my strongest expertise is Lotus Notes / Domino development and administration, which is loosing market share faster than the Titanic lost passengers. So now for my work I'm learning to master the Microsoft suite. But the reality is, best practices, techniques, understanding of the business needs, workflow, and design all transcend the languages you write in.
In other words, I'm only re-learning teeny tiny bit
If you were ever excellent at those things, it will take little time for it to click again. If you weren't, then you probably don't love it, and if you don't love it you will never be able to compete with outsourced guys who also don't love it, but will work for peanuts.
So.. If you do you love it, practice and play with object oriented programming techniques, update your understanding of the available tools, AND start with Visual Basic.NET since it's closest to what you are already familiar with. Anything you learn in VB.net will easily translate to any of the other.net languages when the need arises.
Again though, if you don't love it, it's never too late to find your passion, try something else.
Think about it, the danger of earthquakes is when enormous amounts of pressure are released at once. If something can 'lubricate' the plates in a way that the shifts would be more frequent and less powerful. The end result would be lots of harmless quakes and fewer massive killer quakes.
Sounds like a public service rather than a threat of any kind.
As an IT person I see stupid mistakes all the time, we are people, it happens, no biggie. So to jail someone for what anyone could do by accident is unconscionable.
Closer to home: Consider every minute commuting as work time, and every dollar spent on gas as after tax wages. The challenge of something new: That can be a major contributing factor to your happiness, even if the employer isn't any more fun The risk of taking a new position: You might think you are beloved and stable in your current position, but all it takes is new ownership and even the best workplace can turn into hell, so just because it is nice where you are doesn't guarantee it will stay that way. Better pay: Yes, it's only %10 more pay, but think about it, they are starting you at that, chances are you have peaked out at your current position, now you have room to grow
No matter what, it could backfire, and be a bad decision, so don't burn your bridges, there is always the possibility of returning if this job doesn't pan out. Either way, Good Luck!
The very idea of an anonymous country-less virtual currency screams 'rob me'.
And, apparently those screams are being heard.
Security can only go so far, the reality is without government protection, no amount of security will suffice.
There is a reason no US President ever refused to step down at the end of their term, because we're armed to the teeth. Might be a key reason so many Russians like this project.
What make it about bitcoins is that bitcoins are most useful to perform transactions behind your governments back. But this also means the government doesn't have your back when someone steals your bitcoins.

Now that requires our full scientific analysis.

Because it sure doesn't read that way to me.

So long as it is easy for a person to be anonymous, it won't be safe for them to use your wifi.

I thought the long lines and grumpy and abrasive nature of a typical New Jersey DMV employee would be plenty effective at preventing smiles. ;-)
